Abstract

To evaluate the effects of aging, gender and body mass index on the heart rate variability (HRV), and to compare the patterns of global autonomic regulation (GAR) and parasympathetic outflow (PO) throughout the aging process. CROSS-SECTIONAL: Large sample of community-based adults and elderly people. Individuals aged from 40 to 100 years, functionally independent and with satisfactory cognitive function defined as the self-capacity to interact with an interviewer (N= 1743). The study enrolled individuals of both genders, stratified into five age-groups. We did adjustments for hypertension, dyslipidemia and non-insulin-dependent diabetes, as well as the body mass index (BMI). All groups undertook long-term electrocardiograms and five time-domain HRV parameters were measured, three (SDNN, SDANN, SDNN-index) reflecting the GAR and two (rMSSD and pNN50) the PO. SDNN, SDANN and SDNN-index decreased linearly with age and BMI, and women had lower values than men (p<0.001). There was a U-shaped pattern of rMSSD and pNN50, with the nadir between 60 and 69 years for both genders, and women had higher values than men (p<0.001). The lowest levels of all HRV variables were found in diabetics (p<0.001). There was no influence of hypertension...Continue Reading

Aging-Associated Metabolic Disorders

Age is associated with many metabolic disorders including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease. The mediators in aging process have been suggested to play a part in the cellular processes responsible for these metabolic disorders. Here is the latest research on aging-associated metabolic disorders.
